ere And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women; for they [are] lively, and are delivered {ere} the midwives come in unto them. ere And while the flesh [was] yet between their teeth, {ere} it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague. ere And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be {ere} they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them? ere <1SA3 -3> And {ere} the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God [was], and Samuel was laid down [to sleep]; ere <2SA2 -26> Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, {ere} thou bid the people return from following their brethren? ere <2KI6 -32> But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and [the king] sent a man from before him: but {ere} the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: [is] not the sound of his master's feet behind him? ere How long [will it be {ere}] ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. ere O thou sword of the LORD, how long [will it be] {ere} thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. ere Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long [will it be] {ere} they attain to innocency? ere The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down {ere} my child die. ~~~~~~
